It's a matter of choice. And people shouldn't be judged for making that choice no matter what it is they choose. Everyone thinks and believes different things. If you want to be 100% safe from STDs and an illegitimate pregnancy then abstinence is best, but some people don't consider that an option. I mean, there are 2 sides to how women are treated concerning this issue--Society persecutes them if they do it, but in personal relationships they can be allienated if they don't. Oh and as for why girl are persecuted for it and boys are not can be summed up in 2 words: DOUBLE STANDARD.

i hav 1 question though:
hw r we s'pose to make sure our partner is free of HIV?
ask before doing IT?
but arent most inclined to lie at d heat of the moment?
or ask b4 dating smoebody? but that would be hinting u wanna hav sex...?

How about use a condom? and if you are really suspicious and don't want to take even the smallest risks ask them to get tested.

no it is totally wrong, for sex before marriage also just today, in health class we watched a video off all the negative stuf that comes from sex before marriage and all the people who have major trouble because of sex before marriage.

i saw on a show that there was this 12 yr old girl that was pregnant and the father was a 13 yr old...that's just so wrong, i can't imagine what life the baby will go through...that is if she will be able to have a safe delivery since a girl should be at least 18 years of age to undergo a safe pregnancy.

The following statistics are from the fact sheet "The Truth About Latex Condoms," developed by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS).

1. Condoms are 98% effective when used correctly.
2. The average failure rate for condoms is 12%: reflective of people who do not use them properly or do not use them every time they have intercourse.
3. Laboratory tests show that neither sperm, which has a diameter of 3 microns, nor STD-causing organisms, which are a quarter to a ninth the size of sperm, can penetrate an intact latex condom.
4. If there is a leak in more than 4 per 1,000 condoms, the entire lot (approximately 5,000) is discarded.
